I'm taking a page from Dolphin's book, and including copies of each dependency's source code. This combines the ease of use of including pre-built libraries instead of needing to navigate a package manager - as is (or was) the case for MSVC - with the portability of using packages. Granted, this method's more of a jack of all trades, master of none, since it's *less* user-friendly than prebuilt packages (compilation times), and you don't get the per-distro compatibility fixes you'd get from a package manager. You can still use system libs if you want. In fact, it's still the default behaviour: compiling the libs manually is just a fallback. I'll add an option to force-enable this soon, however, since it's a nicer way to produce static MSYS2 builds than the hackish nightmare that I was using before. Not to mention, having my own copy of the sources means I can provide my own fixes and tweaks your package manager may not. For example, I can combine MSYS2's FreeType subpixel rendering with vcpkg's fix for SDL2 exporting its symbols in static builds.

Emscripten
Build:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ emconfigure ../configure --host=asmjs-unknown-emscripten --disable-assembly --disable-threads --disable-cpuinfo CFLAGS="-O2"
$ emmake make
Or with cmake:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ emcmake cmake ..
$ emmake make
To build one of the tests:
$ cd test/
$ emcc -O2 --js-opts 0 -g4 testdraw2.c -I../include ../build/.libs/libSDL2.a ../build/libSDL2_test.a -o a.html
Uses GLES2 renderer or software
Some other SDL2 libraries can be easily built (assuming SDL2 is installed somewhere):
SDL_mixer (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/):
$ EMCONFIGURE_JS=1 emconfigure ../configure
build as usual...
SDL_gfx (http://cms.ferzkopp.net/index.php/software/13-sdl-gfx):
$ EMCONFIGURE_JS=1 emconfigure ../configure --disable-mmx
build as usual...
